The second Orbán Government started an educational reform in 2010. The newly established Klebelsberg Institution Maintenance Center (KLIK) centralized school management and withdrew the schools’ right to make decisions on the curricula. Along with financial cuts, the financing has also been centralized. A new organization, the Teachers' Self-Assessment Group, was created and the schools were obliged to establish self-evaluation groups in which teachers would rank each other and evaluate their relationship with the students and their parents. The reform started the teachers’ protest movement. Can they make their voices heard?
